They'll be talking about clanker taxes in the 2028 election, btw.
Democrats in particular, but you'll even see some Republicans float the idea. By that point, the US white collar labor market will be so devastated that they won't have a choice.
Today I learned: There's a 99.958% version of Hot Roll Double Double Bonus.
At least in theory. If this paytable is actually sitting out there in a casino somewhere, I'd be impressed.
The Pentagon budget is 1.5 trillion btw and just like the CIA, nobody gets to ask questions.
Fake daycares and EBT scamming is pennies in the ocean compared to the amount of grift likely going on within government agencies.
🚨🇺🇸BREAKING: The CIA officer caught with $40 million in gold bars allegedly invented an entire fake top-secret spy program to steal the money.
As if this story couldn't get and wilder:
-David Rush allegedly built a sham "special access program," the blackest box in U.S. intelligence, so secret even top-clearance officials couldn't look inside without authorization
-The fake program posed as "continuity of government" work, the doomsday planning that keeps Washington running after a nuclear war
-He allegedly read in two colleagues as unwitting accomplices and used a made-up government contract to funnel millions, persuading a defense contractor to buy huge amounts of gold
-The FBI raid on his home seized 303 gold bars worth roughly $40 million, $2 million in cash, and 35 luxury watches
-Investigators say he lied about his college degrees, faked being a Navy pilot, and still sailed through the CIA's notoriously brutal vetting
-A judge ordered him held as a flight risk, and several CIA officials are now on leave as the probe widens
The scheme worked because of the system, not in spite of it.
The secrecy walls built to hide operations from China and Russia hid the fraud from the CIA itself.
A man with a fake résumé ran a fake doomsday program inside the most paranoid institution in America, and for years nobody noticed...

It’s kind of high-key crazy that as late as the 80s, you could roll up to Vegas with $50 and gamble for an entire weekend on nickel slots.
Now you can blow that in one shot on one high limit spin in three seconds.
DAT was supposed to stand for “Digital Asset Treasury” but TBH it’s looking more like “Dumb-Ass Trade”
RIP all the suckers who basically invested in other people buying coins for them at a markup.
@LDrogen It has been fun, I built an analyzer skill for betting home runs and I’ve been refining it but I haven’t made a billion dollars so I’d like to be a wagie again, thanks. 😭
@m6drop My next trip out west, I really wanna do some local spots. My current idea is Reno/Sparks, I hear the Peppermill is awesome and it seems like there's a lot of interesting local spots nearby in the Sparks area.
